Waves passes French Polynesia with no reports of damage

Several waves have reached French Polynesia on Sunday following a magnitude 8.8 earthquake in Chile. There were no reports of damage.

At least four big waves have been reported at Hiva Oa pushing in and the sea again retreating.

A scientist has told RFO radio that the difference between the lowest and high watermark in the Marquesas had been measured at four meters.

The waves are reported to have been strengthening.

Several waves have passed other islands in French Polynesia without causing any major damage, Radio New Zealand reported.
